SAFETY RAZOR Application led .Tune 16, 1930. lSerial No. 461,285.

This invention relates to new and usefull improvements in a safetyrazor.

The invention has for an object the provision of a device of the classmentioned which is of simple durable construction, de-

pendable in use and efcientin action, and

which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

The invention proposes a sheet section having a top portion withtransverse corrugations, a bottom portion bent upon itself and clampedonto the top edge of a blade section having a sharpened bottom edge andpositioned with its front face at an acute angle to the vertical, saidbottom portion comprising a front layer connected at its bottom edgewith the bottom edge of said top portion and a rear layer terminatingslightly below the bottom edge of said blade section and formed withvertical corrugat-ions and curved rearwards for constituting a guard andformed with apertures for the passage of soap from the front to therear.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the follow' ing descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to the appended claim in which the variousnovel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosureFig. 1 is a perspective view of a blade constructed according to thisinvention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the device taken onthe line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3-8 of Fig. 2.

The safety shaving blade comprises a sheet section 10 having a topportion 11 with transverse corrugations 12, a bottom portion 13 bentupon itself and clamped into the top edge 14 of a blade section 15having a sharpened bottom edge 16 and positioned with its front face 17at an acute angle to the vertical, vsaid bottom portion 13 comprising afront layer 18 connected at its bottom edge with the bottom edge of saidtop portion 10 and a rear layer lterminating slightly below the bottomedgey of kthe blade ysection 15 and formed' with vertical corrugations20 and curved rearwardsA for constituting a' guard and formed withapertures 21 for the passage .of soap from the frontto the rear.' 55

The sheet section 10'is preferably madel from springy metal. Thetransverse corrugations 12 serve' to providefor manual gripping of theblade, the fingers resting upon cert-ain of the'corrugations to providew firm holding. Referencev numeral 22 indicates several fingers of oneshands in the operation 'of holding the blade. The connection between thefront layer 18 of the bottom portion and the bottom edge of the top porution 10 is accomplished by a bend, the portions being integral. Thevertical corrugations 20 extend from the bottom edge of the bottomsection 13 to behind the blade section 15. The apertures 21 are locatedslight- 70' ly above the bottom edge of the blade section 17 so thatsoap entering beneath the blade can vpass through to the rear of thesheet section.

In operation of the plate, the top portion V 11 acts as a guard in thatthe blade 17 cannot be tilted too far in one direction since the por-Vtion 11 will then be flush against oncs face and prevent furtherturning. In addition,

the top portion 11 constitutes a guide for the 80 proper holding of theblade 15 in that when it is flat against the skin the blade 15 is at themost eicient cutting angle. In addition, the top portion 10 may be usedas a handle, eliminating the need of an actual handle.

The horizontal corrugations 12 add to the resiliency of the top portion11 allowing a certain amount of flexing of the blade 15 relative to onesskin when the device is drawn thereover. This resiliency eliminatespossible pulling of the blade section 15 adding to the comfort ofshaving. Further, the resiliency changes the feel of the sharp edge ofthe blade upon ones 'skin to that of a smooth object being drawnthereover instead of a sharp one. The correct holding of the bladesection 15 to produce the proper cutting angle eliminates possibility ofcutting ones hair too close and running the danger of ingrown hairs. Thebend between the bottom of the roo layer 18 and the bottom of the topportion ll adds resiliency to the holding of the blade section andsupplements the resiliency of the corrugations 12.

Vhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention1 it is to be understood that I do not liinit myself to theprecise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to allchanges and modi# lications coming Within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appendedclaiin.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire tosecure by United i States Letters Patent is A shaving blade holderformed of a single rectangular strip of resilient sheet metal comprisinga handle portion transversely corrugated, a blade holder portion at oneend of the handle consisting ofa transverse flat portion adjacent thehandle a transverse fold in contact With the -flat portion and a secondtransverse fold spaced from the first fold to form a blade grippingpocket, and a` longitudinally corrugated blade guard portion at the endof said second fold curved away from the blade pocket and provided withsoap passing apertures.

In-testimony whereof I have aiiixed my sig-- nature.
